the Biscayan Pello Bilbao (Bahrain-Victorious) did not start this Tuesday in the 62 Itzulia Basque Country due to “a respiratory infection” that already gave him problems on Monday in the first period, as reported by his team.
“Due to a respiratory infection, our leader Pello Bilbao was forced to leave and not at the beginning of the second stage”, explained the Bahrain-Victorious, who now remains only one of the two leaders with whom he started the race, Mikel Landa.
The second stage of Itzulia 2023 is the Navarra stage, a 193.8 kilometer route that starts in Viana and ends in Leitza with a total of five marking stops along the way. The last, Arkiskil (2nd), whose peak is only 5 km from the finish line.
The British Ethan Hayter (Ineos), winner of the sprint in the first stage, from Álava, with the finish line in Labastida, starts as the yellow jersey of the race.
